Blinds, Roller Shutters & Awnings, Big Bay
Big Bay is the newest beachfront node on this stretch of coast — purpose-built apartment blocks and lifestyle developments between Melkbosstrand and Bloubergstrand, and the original home of Red Bull King of the Air before the event moved up the beach in 2018.
Newer builds, later wind, gustier afternoons
Kitesurfers here will tell you the wind arrives later in the day than at Bloubergstrand and gets gustier once it does — a pattern we plan exterior products around rather than a generic "coastal wind" line.
Rooftop and elevated living
Big Bay's apartment and complex stock leans heavily on rooftop terraces and elevated balconies with an open, unbroken run at the wind — exactly the kind of position where a zip screen earns its keep, enclosing the space without boxing it in.
Newer glazing, bigger spans
Most Big Bay builds are recent enough to run larger glazing than the older cottage stock further north — wide sliding doors and floor-to-ceiling glass are the default, which usually means motorised roller blinds and linked multi-blind setups rather than a single manual roller.
A family-friendly beach, a family-friendly brief
Big Bay's own beach is known as the gentler, more family-friendly stretch compared with Bloubergstrand's advanced-kiter conditions — and the housing brief follows: child-safe control is the standard starting point here, not an afterthought.
Alongside Big Bay, we measure and fit throughout Melkbosstrand and the wider Blaauwberg coastal corridor.
